<p>I don' t understand how zulip notifications works. I would like to get desktop notification + the counter only on channels I talked into. Is this possible?</p>

<p>It doesn't completely solve it, but I've unsubscribed from most streams, disabled notifications and just quickly scroll through the topics I'm not interested in. I sometimes keep a pinned Zulip tab in my browser.</p>

<p>Given that I don't know yet which channels I'm really interested in, unsubscribing isn't really an option.</p>

<p>I wrote a program to get desktop notifications for certain zulip events. Currently it only notifies on @mentions and alert words but you can change the code to also get notifications for other events. <a href="https://github.com/bjorn3/zulip-messages-rs">https://github.com/bjorn3/zulip-messages-rs</a> Be aware that it seems to prevent email notifications from being sent though.</p>

<p>It looks like someone was working on an enhancement to be able to get notifications per-topic, which sounds useful (<a href="https://github.com/zulip/zulip/pull/14555">https://github.com/zulip/zulip/pull/14555</a>).  I sometimes temporarily enable notifications for a stream, but it is a hassle so I almost never do it.</p>
